Simple problem, can't figure it out

[SMC]

So, I recently took over management of this online giftstore, and the whole thing is in total chaos. Right now I'm trying to change the message on the first page to remove the "all books 20% off" and replace it with somehting along the line of "site under construction, please bear with us, etc.."

 

I'm sure this is an easy thing to do, I just can't figure out how to do it, and it's driving me up the wall.

 

Here's the link, can anyone help me?

I'm pretty sure you can find that text in the file /catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

open that file and you should be able to find the text you want changed.

The file to edit is in includes/languages/english/index.php.

Look for the line regarding the discount and replace the text.

I've looked at both of those files, and it's not in either. Anyone else got any ideas? I'm using osCommerce 2.2-MS2 and PHP Version 4.3.9, if that makes a difference.

it could be hard-coded in the catalog\index.php file or pulled-in by some other module or even pulled-in from the database. So first do a search to the php files of the store. If that fails locate the code that outputs the string and trace it from there.

[SMC]

Please, forgive my ignorance, but how exactly would I go about doing those things?

[Guest]

there're packages available as freeware you could download and do the search in the files to begin with. But even the explorer has a search facility so you can search your osc files. Just specify the search string.

 

You must have a copy of the files from the server of course into your local pc.

Ah, many thanks. Since I'm acessing the server remotely and don't have the files on this PC, I suppose I'll have to find some way to get to them.
